For years there has been a debate about the "best" bear repellent caliber. Many have said "44 mag is the minimum" While others say "10mm is best". Why would 357 mag not be proper if 10mm is satisfactory?
The two are within a few lb ft of one another so if 10 works so would a 357.For years there has been a debate about the "best" bear repellent caliber. Many have said "44 mag is the minimum" While others say "10mm is best". Why would 357 mag not be proper if 10mm is satisfactory?

15 rounds vs 5-6?
typical handguns for the 2 rounds would be a glock 20 and a revolver for the .357?
if someone made a 375 HH pistol, they are stupid375 H&H?
I have no plans to be shooting bear but they make SW 500 for a reason... that might be the reason....
Ballistic performance is very similar to .450 Bushmaster. Plus you can get very modern bullet designs for it, ranging from 240-395gr. You could make this as a pistol if you really wantedSome Alaskan guides carry a lever in .45-70. I suppose that would be my minimum caliber.

What caliber? It depends on the bear.
Repellent or extermination? Sometimes you intend to do the former and you end up being the latter.
